Using hydrogen peroxide to clean open wounds is generally not recommended because it can damage the tissue and delay the healing process. While it effectively kills bacteria, hydrogen peroxide is also cytotoxic, meaning it can harm fibroblasts and other cells needed for wound repair. This can prolong the time it takes for a wound to heal and may even increase the risk of scarring. Instead, mild soap and water or saline solution are typically advised for cleaning minor wounds. #hydrogenperoxide #

Hydrogen peroxide…great for stains, not so great for wounds. I know everyone is going to have an opinion on this one! Although it has been used historically to clean out wounds due to its antibacterial properties, hydrogen peroxide actually kills healthy cells too, particularly fibroblasts, which play a key role in healing your wounds.

Think hydrogen peroxide is the best for wound care? Think again! 🚫 While it kills bacteria, it also damages healthy skin cells, slowing down the healing process.
